What Did You Cook or Bake today?

[silva]

I messed up sooooo bad! I should never think to bake after a weekday at work! I had pumpkin puree left and wanted to make the same great pumpkin cake I made from Vegan Pumpkin Cake
I don't know where I saw non dairy milk- I thought water seemed a better choice. There is NO milk or water in the recipes! I looked down the line to be sure I added everything, I don't know what I was thinking!
It's gummy, tasty, but gummy

I know, my son was talking to me. I can't do anything when talking!

Edit: it's really good . Like a steamed pudding I guess!

I'm glad it turned out that you could eat it. It sounds pretty good, lol!

We want some of @silva 's pud-ding, We want some of silva's pud-ding, We want some of silva's pud-ding, so bring it right here!

If only it had figs in it... we could have used the original lyrics!

I'm going to make bread, I think, and maybe some oatmeal-peanut butter energy bites.

OK, I made only bannock bread yesterday, which is a quick bread, so today I'm making yeast bread. I have the dough rising in the oven. And I'm going to make a soy curls chik'n soup.

we made a huge pot of 2 bean chilli last night (I was sous chef) - carrots, celery, onions, peppers, jalapeno, 2 cans whole roma tomatoes, a can of pinto, a can of kidney, frozen corn and then a can of corn too - after eating set it outside to cool and will divide it up today and freeze

I made the oatmeal-pb energy bites. They are in the freezer for an hour to set.

Well that answered my question lol.

I have two loaves of sourdough currently bulk fermenting overnight. The house is cold so hopefully they won't overproof!

Gingerbread biscotti is in it's first bake.The dough was super crumbly, and I just kept trying to get it to keep together,, and it wants to break apart. I've made this from Vegan Cookies by Isa and always came out ok before.

I'm going to have to try that. How did it come out?

I'm making some white seitan in the IP using the slo cooker function.

That's what I'm gonna do! I usually let it rest overnight, then sear in oil and cook in broth.

Same as the other times! The dough is really stiff and doesn't seem to stay together, I just kept pressing it in a log. After baking it did want to crumble a bit, and after the second bake it's hard and has that moist looking bottom. It's tremendously delicious with coffee or tea!
Couldn't get a picture to show what I mean, but I just meant it's more dense than store bought biscotti that's all dry. I used recipe from Isa M's Vegan Cookies Invade your cookie jar. Excellent cookies!

Heard Post punk kitchen is getting a make over - theppk.com. Not available yet, looking forward to it!

Anyone make biscotti? Like light and dry kind?

My mom makes it all the time, and hers is crunchy but not super light. I think I've made it once, but I don't remember what recipe I used. I believe the batch I made was almond-flavored. I would like to try it again, though. I miss it, as my mom's is not vegan.

I'm thinking egg is a factor in the 'dryness' crisp.
1/2 cup oil, 1/4 cup molasses, 2 tsp vanilla, and 2 Tbsp milk is all the moisture to 1 3/4 cup flour and 1 1/2 tsp baking powder.
Recipes with egg are 6 Tblsp butter, and two eggs to the same proportions. I think I'll do again with a thick aquafaba. I did add a good bit more water to my dough as I couldn't get all the flour mixed in, so like a half cup aqaufaba.
I happen to have almonds, my son will like an almond one

I think the egg also helps hold it together. My mom's never falls apart. I think the recipe I made, I do remember the pieces being pretty fragile, but it did taste really good.

I had an amazing recipe for biscotti before going vegan. They were baked in those old metal ice cube trays lol. They were light, crunchy/crisp.
